Although intensely pursued, novel design paradigms for realizing broadband absorption and highly efficient analytical methods for accelerating the iteration of the design process remain to be proposed. This work proposes a new class HAM comprising a multi-material structure sandwiched into rubber layers. The multi-material structure consists of viscoelastic material, elastic material, and fine distributed pores, serving as the core that achieves the energy dissipation and the waveform conversion. A semi-analytical method (SAM), combining explicit expressions and a numerical homogenization process, is established to predict the absorption performance of the HAM. The proposed SAM is widely applicable for complex structural forms and is more computationally efficient than the conventional finite element method (FEM). An inverse design strategy for the HAM is subsequently proposed by incorporating the multi-material topology optimization into the SAM. Under different constraints, various HAMs achieving high sound absorption in the low-frequency and broadband are acquired, demonstrating the effectiveness of the inverse design strategy. The proposed analytical and design method can extend to other structural designs by considering multi-physics field coupling.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 116265"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144337761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In mountainous road environments, where infrastructure is often underdeveloped, communication shielding effects are prevalent, resulting in frequent signal interruptions and communication delays for connected vehicles. This study focuses on mountainous roads and develops a mixed traffic flow model comprehensively considering the incorporation of dynamic communication topologies under network attack scenarios, the limited communication range, the persistence of driving information memory, and the differences in information exchange between connected and manually driven vehicles. We calibrated the model parameters using 331 real-world trajectory datasets. The stability of homogeneous traffic flow was investigated using the reduced perturbation theory, which indicated that both the continuous memory effect and multi-vehicle information feedback positively enhance stability. A benchmark comparison with classical models revealed that the newly proposed connected vehicle following model significantly outperforms the Intelligent Driver Model, the Following Vehicle Departure Model, and the Gipps model in fitting real-world driving trajectories, achieving improvements of 51.65%, 25.88%, and 50.20%, respectively. Furthermore, the model exhibits superior speed control accuracy (root mean square error reduced by over 46.24%) and speed stability (as evidenced by a 48.28% reduction in standard deviation). For the diverse communication topologies associated with heterogeneous fleets, the stability criteria of such fleets were derived through the application of control transfer functions. Additionally, four distinct network information attack scenarios were established to simulate and analyze the impacts of information deception, delay, and collusion attacks on fleet driving dynamics. Research findings demonstrate that connected vehicles are effective in mitigating traffic flow fluctuations. Moreover, the distribution of vehicles' relative spatial positions significantly influences the propagation intensity of disturbances within traffic streams. Drivers with conservative driving behaviors tend to increase speed variations among vehicles, thereby affecting stability. The insights derived from this study can serve as a reference for developing strategies to manage traffic flow on mountainous highways and enhancing the integration of connected communication technologies into vehicle control systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 116263"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144305085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formation and evolution of kink and chaotic traffic jams are analysed through theoretical modelling and numerical simulations.

A comprehensive sensitivity analysis of the indicators' processing parameters and evaluations of their significance and robustness are performed to ensure a more nuanced and insightful interpretation. Results reveal that the statistical measures' predictive performance is sensitive to the choice of moving window size and bandwidth of the smoothing function. Further, it is observed that the higher-order moments are more prone to yielding false negatives, irrespective of the traffic jam being kink-antikink type or chaotic.

The present paper proposes a parameter rejection scheme that seeks to mitigate the noted errors by minimizing the sensitivity of the estimation problem to changes in the excluded parameters. The sensitivity minimization is realized in a closed-loop setting with output feedback eigenstructure assignment, which, given that the operation is offline, can be implemented through processing of open-loop input-output data. Consequently, the scheme rests on the assumption that open-loop input-output data can be collected while the considered system is linear and time-invariant.

Previous researches on analysis models of tunnels incorporating yielding layer have certain limitations, as one model is only applicable to one type of yielding layer material. The purpose of this work is to establish a unified analysis model of tunnels considering the yielding layer effect in order to address the limitations of existing models. Firstly, the nonlinear stress-strain curve of yielding layer materials is partitioned and multiple straight line segments are employed to approximate the original curve. A mathematical expression for elastic moduli is provided to uniformly describe the deformation characteristics of different yielding layer materials. Secondly, the tunnel construction process is divided into three stages and a viscoelastic mechanical model of tunnels considering the yielding layer effect is established. Based on stress boundary and displacement continuity conditions, analytical solutions for tunnel displacement and interface contact stresses during different deformation stage are provided. The proposed model can be used to predict the mechanical performance of tunnels incorporating yielding layer materials with arbitrary compressive characteristics, and can degrade to some simpler tunnel cases. Furthermore, the reliability of this mechanical model is verified by comparing with the numerical calculation results. Finally, a comprehensive parametric investigation is carried out based on the analytical solutions. The analysis results indicate that the tunnel supporting effect is significantly affected by the mechanical properties of yielding layer materials, the yielding layer thickness and the deformation capacity of surrounding rock.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 116259"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144296930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
